Graham Alternative Investment
Fund I LLC
Core Macro Portfolio
Notes to Unaudited Financial
Statements
March 31, 2025
1. Organization and Business
The Core Macro Portfolio (the “Fund”) is the sole series of Graham Alternative Investment Fund I LLC (“GAIF I”), a Delaware Series Limited Liability Company established through an amendment to the certificate of formation, effective March 28, 2013. Prior to March 28, 2013, GAIF I was organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company which was formed on May 16, 2006 and commenced operations on August 1, 2006. GAIF I is registered as a commodity pool and as such is subject to the oversight and jurisdiction of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”).
As a Series Limited Liability Company each series is legally segregated, and the assets associated with each series are held separately and accounted for in separate and distinct records from the assets of any other series of GAIF I. The debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series are enforceable against the assets of such series only, and not against the assets of GAIF I generally or any other series thereof. Further, none of the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to GAIF I are enforceable against the assets of any other series. As of and for the period and year ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, the Fund is the sole series of GAIF I. GAIF I has no assets and no operations outside of those of the Fund. These financial statements fairly reflect the positions, results of operations, changes in members’ capital and cash flows of the single series constituting GAIF I.
The Fund offers members Class 0 and Class 2 Units, and effective March 19, 2024, Class 3-A Units and Class 3-B Units (collectively the “Units”). All Classes of Units are currently issued. The Fund invests all of its assets dedicated to trading in Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC (“GAIT”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company which was formed on May 18, 2006 and commenced operations on August 1, 2006. GAIT invests in various master trading vehicles (“Master Funds”) and Graham Cash Assets LLC (“Cash Assets”), all of which are managed by Graham Capital Management, L.P. (the “Advisor” or “Manager”). The Manager is the manager and the sole investment advisor of GAIT and the Fund. The Manager is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator and Commodity Trading Advisor with the CFTC and is a member of the National Futures Association. The Manager is also registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser. The Fund’s Units are registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through professionally managed trading in both U.S. and foreign markets primarily in futures contracts, forwards contracts, spot currency contracts, and associated derivative instruments, such as options and swaps, through its investment in GAIT, which in turn invests in various Master Funds. The Master Funds seek to profit from opportunities in the global financial markets, including interest rate futures, foreign exchange, global stock indices and energy, metals and agricultural futures, as professionally managed multi-strategy investment vehicles. The Fund may also trade futures on virtual currencies. Each of the investment programs consists of multiple trading strategies of the Manager, which the Manager has combined in an effort to diversify the Fund’s investment exposure and to make the Fund’s performance returns less volatile and more consistently profitable.
SEI Global Services, Inc. (“SEI”) is the Fund’s independent administrator and transfer agent. SEI is responsible for certain matters pertaining to the administration of the Fund.
The Fund will terminate on December 31, 2050 or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as outlined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) of the Fund.
The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of GAIT; therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the attached financial statements of GAIT, including the condensed schedules of investments.

Notes to Unaudited Financial
Statements (continued)
1. Organization and Business (continued)
Duties of the Manager
Subject to the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement, the Manager has complete and exclusive responsibility for managing and administering the affairs of the Fund and for directing the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund and GAIT.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. The Fund is an investment company and applies specialized accounting guidance as outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC
The Fund records its investment in GAIT at fair value based upon the Fund’s proportionate share of GAIT’s reported net asset value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In determining its net asset value, GAIT records its investments in the Master Funds and Cash Assets at fair value based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of the Master Funds’ and Cash Assets’ reported net asset value. The Fund records its proportionate share of GAIT’s investment income and loss, expenses, fees, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on a monthly basis and includes them in the statements of operations. Purchases and sales of units in GAIT are recorded on a trade date basis. The accounting policies of GAIT are described in its attached financial statements.
GAIT charges its investors, including the Fund, an advisory fee, sponsor fee, and incentive allocation, all of which are described in detail in Note 4. The Fund does not charge any additional fees; however, each investor in the Fund indirectly bears a portion of the advisory fee, sponsor fee, and incentive allocation charged by GAIT.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Fund owned 43.60% and 42.76%, respectively of GAIT.
Fair Value
The fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Fund and GAIT, which qualify as financial instruments under U.S. GAAP, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the statements of financial condition. Changes in these carrying amounts are included in the statements of operations.
The Fund follows U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. The Fund reports the fair value of its investment related assets and liabilities in accordance with the hierarchy established under U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP uses a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the activeness of the market and the transparency and independence of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Value (continued)
The fair value hierarchy categorizes asset and liability positions into one of three levels, as summarized below, based on the inputs and assumptions used in deriving fair value.
●
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted closing or settlement prices for such assets or liabilities as published by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.
●
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities obtained from independent brokers and/or market makers in each security.
●
Level 3 inputs are those which are considered unobservable and are significant in arriving at fair value.
The Fund’s investment in GAIT has been valued at net asset value using the practical expedient. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, this investment is excluded from categorization in the fair value hierarchy. There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities held at any point during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024 by the Fund, GAIT, the Master Funds or Cash Assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Fund classifies all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase as cash equivalents on the statements of financial condition. Cash deposited with a bank is subject to credit risk. In the event of the bank's insolvency, recovery of the Fund's cash would be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded by such deposit, which could be substantially less than the amount deposited. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Fund held $170,000 and $130,000, respectively, in cash and held no cash equivalents.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”) Segment Reporting (Topic 280) — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Investment Committee acts as the Fund’s CODM. The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its LLC Agreement, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in members’ capital (i.e., changes in members’ capital resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying statements of financial condition as “total assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying statements of operations. ASU 2023-07 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Fund adopted ASU 2023-07 for annual reporting of the year ended December 31, 2024. Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund’s financial position or results of operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Master Funds, GAIT, Cash Assets, and the Fund enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. Such contracts may include those by Cash Assets and the Master Funds with their brokers and trading counterparties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses with respect to such indemnifications and considers the risk of loss to be remote. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no accruals have been recorded by the Fund for indemnifications.
3. Capital Accounts
The Fund offers members Class 0 and Class 2 Units, and effective March 19, 2024, Class 3-A Units and Class 3-B Units. All Classes are currently issued. The Fund may issue additional Classes in the future subject to different fees, expenses, or other terms, or invest in other investment programs or combinations of investment programs managed by the Manager.
A separate capital account is maintained for each member with respect to each member’s Class of Units. The initial balance of each Member’s capital account is equal to the initial subscription to the Fund by such member with respect to the Class to which such capital account relates. Each Member’s capital account is increased by any additional subscription and decreased by any redemption by such member of Units of such Class to which the capital account relates. All income and expenses of the Fund are allocated among the Members’ Capital accounts in proportion to the balance that each capital account bears to the balance of all capital as of the beginning of such fiscal period.
Subscriptions
Units may be purchased at a price equal to the Net Asset Value per Unit of the relevant Class as of the immediately preceding Valuation Day, as defined in the LLC Agreement. The minimum initial subscription from each investor in each Class is $10,000. Members may subscribe for additional Units in a minimum amount of not less than $5,000. Any initial or additional cash received prior to period end or on period end, if any, for Fund shares related to the subsequent period is considered a subscription received in advance on the period end date. The new subscription does not receive an allocation of income or expense from the Fund and is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Financial Condition as subscriptions received in advance.
Units are available for subscription as of the first business day of each month upon written notice of at least three business days prior to the last business day of the preceding month.
Redemption of Units
Units are not subject to any minimum holding period. Members may redeem Units at the Net Asset Value thereof as of each Valuation Day, as defined in the LLC Agreement, upon not less than three business days’ prior written notice to the administrator. A partial redemption request for an amount less than $10,000 will not be accepted, nor will a redemption request be accepted to the extent that it would result in an investor owning less than $10,000. The redemption proceeds will normally be remitted within 15 business days after the Valuation Day, without interest for the period from the Valuation Day to the payment date. Redemptions paid after the end of a period, based upon end-of-period share values, if any, are reflected as redemptions payable on the Statement of Financial Condition.

4. Fees and Related Party Transactions
Advisory Fees
Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT paid the Manager an advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”) at an aggregate annual rate of 1.50% of the Members’ Capital of such Class. Class 3-A and Class 3-B have an advisory fee at an aggregate annual rate of 1.50% and 2.00% of the Members’ Capital of such Class, respectively. The Advisory Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month and any other date the Manager may permit, in its sole and absolute discretion, as of which any subscription or redemption is affected with respect to Units of such Class during the month. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Advisory Fees allocated to the Fund by Class 0, Class 2, Class 3-A and Class 3-B of GAIT totaled $114,608 and $111,245, respectively.
Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT paid the Manager a sponsor fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) at an annual rate of the Members’ Capital specified in the table below. Class 3-A and Class 3-B of GAIT have no sponsor fee. The Sponsor Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month in the same manner as the Advisory Fee. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Sponsor Fees allocated to the Fund by Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT totaled $46,595 and $59,692, respectively.
Incentive Allocation
At the end of each calendar quarter, Graham Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Manager, will receive a special allocation of net profits (the “Incentive Allocation”) in an amount equal to 20% of the New High Net Trading Profits of each Class of GAIT, as defined in the LLC Agreement. The Incentive Allocation is also accrued and allocable on the date of redemption with respect to any Units that are redeemed prior to the end of a calendar quarter. Additionally, any loss carryforward attributable to any class of GAIT shall be proportionately reduced, effective as of the date of any redemption of any Units of such class, by multiplying the loss carryforward by the ratio that the amount of Members’ Capital redeemed from such class bears to the Members’ Capital of such class immediately prior to such redemption. The loss carryforward of a class must be recouped before any subsequent Incentive Allocation can be made to Graham Capital LLC. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Incentive Allocation of $20,592 and $140,776, respectively were allocated to the Fund by GAIT.
Any portion of any of the above fees, including the Incentive Allocation, may be paid by the Manager to third parties as compensation for selling activities in connection with the Fund.
Administrator’s Fees
For the three months ended
March 31, 2025 and 2024, GAIT
paid SEI monthly administrator’s fees based on GAIT’s Members’ Capital,
calculated as of the last business day of each month. In addition, GAIT paid
SEI for regulatory compliance services and reimbursed SEI for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of GAIT. The total administrator’s
fees, including out-of-pocket expenses, allocated to the Fund by GAIT for the
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $10,838 and $9,288, respectively.

4. Fees and Related Party Transactions (continued)
Professional Fees
GAIT shall pay, or reimburse the Manager, for expenses arising in connection with the Fund’s audit, tax and legal fees (“professional fees”). The total professional fees allocated to the Fund by GAIT for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $62,713 and $46,913, respectively.
Operating Expenses
GAIT shall pay, or reimburse the Manager, for expenses arising in connection with the Fund’s investments, operations, and business (“operating expenses”). For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, GAIT reimbursed the Manager for operating expenses which were comprised of market data and technology costs associated with its assets allocated to the various Master Funds. The total operating expenses allocated to the Fund by GAIT for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $4,831 and $4,683, respectively.
5. Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as members are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of the Fund’s income and expenses for income tax purposes.
U.S. GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as the U.S. for Federal tax purposes, Connecticut for state tax purposes and various international jurisdictions. The Manager has evaluated the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years under the respective statutes of limitations (generally three years in the U.S. but varying in non-U.S. jurisdictions) and has concluded that there are no significant tax positions requiring recognition, measurement, or disclosure in the financial statements. The Manager is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will change materially in the next twelve months. Tax years which are considered open by the relevant jurisdiction are subject to potential examination. Any assessment for interest or penalties on taxes related to uncertain tax positions, when present, would be included in interest and penalties on tax on the statements of operations. No such interest and/or penalties were assessed to the Fund for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
6. Risk Factors
Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect the Fund’s operations. The current global financial market situation, as well as various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Such impacts may affect the financial markets in which the Fund operates.

Total return is calculated for Class 0, Class 2, Class 3-A and Class 3-B Units taken as a whole. Total return is calculated as the change in total Members’ Capital adjusted for subscriptions or redemptions during the period. An individual member’s return may vary from these returns based on the timing of capital transactions and the applicability of Advisory Fees, Sponsor Fees, Administrator’s Fees, and the Incentive Allocation. The net investment income (loss) and total expense ratios (including Incentive Allocation) are calculated for Class 0, Class 2, Class 3-A and Class 3-B Units taken as a whole and include net amounts allocated from GAIT. The computation of such ratios is based on the amount of net investment income (loss), expenses, and Incentive Allocation. Net investment income (loss) and total expense ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of Members’ Capital for Class 0, Class 2, Class 3-A and Class 3-B Units of the Fund for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and are not annualized.

Graham Alternative Investment
Trading LLC
Notes to Unaudited Financial
Statements
March 31, 2025
1. Organization and Business
Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC (“GAIT”) was formed on May 18, 2006, commenced operations on August 1, 2006 and is organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company. Graham Capital Management, L.P. (the “Manager”) is the Manager and the sole investment advisor. The Manager is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator and Commodity Trading Advisor with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and is a member of the National Futures Association. The Manager is also registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser. GAIT is a commodity pool, and as such is subject to the oversight and jurisdiction of the CFTC.
The investment objective of GAIT is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through professionally managed trading through its investment in various master trading vehicles (“Master Funds”). As more fully described in Notes 2 and 3, these Master Funds invest in a broad range of derivative instruments such as currency forward and futures contracts; bond, interest rate, and index futures contracts; commodity forward and futures contracts, and options and swaps thereon traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges, as well as over-the-counter (“OTC”).
Graham Alternative Investment Fund I LLC Core Macro Portfolio and Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC Core Macro Portfolio (through its investment in Graham Alternative Investment Ltd.) are the only investors of GAIT.
SEI Global Services, Inc. (“SEI”) is GAIT’s independent administrator and transfer agent. SEI is responsible for certain matters pertaining to the administration of GAIT.
GAIT will terminate on December 31, 2050 or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as outlined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”).
Duties of the Manager
Subject to the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement, the Manager has complete and exclusive responsibility for managing and administering the affairs of GAIT and for directing the investment and reinvestment of the assets of GAIT.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. GAIT is an investment company and applies specialized accounting guidance as outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments in Master Funds
GAIT invests in various Master Funds which are managed by the Manager. These investments are valued in the accompanying statements of financial condition at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of the Master Funds’ reported net asset values. Gains and losses are allocated monthly by each Master Fund to GAIT based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of the net asset value of each Master Fund and are included in the statements of operations and incentive allocation.
Graham Alternative Investment

Notes to Unaudited Financial
Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Due from/to Brokers
Due from/to brokers on the Master Funds’ and Cash Assets’ financial statements primarily consist of cash balances carried as margin deposits with clearing brokers for the purpose of trading in futures contracts, foreign currency contracts and other derivative financial instruments and securities, and receivables/payables for unsettled transactions. Substantially all of the Master Funds’ and Cash Assets’ cash and investments are held as collateral by its brokers to secure derivative instruments and securities.
Revenue Recognition
All positions in financial instruments are recorded on the trade date at fair value. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on open derivative financial instruments is included in the Master Funds’ statements of financial condition as the difference between the original purchase price and the current market value at year end. Any change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation from the preceding period is reported in the Master Funds’ statements of operations. Interest income and expense are recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are net of applicable withholding taxes. All other expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are calculated based on the specific identification method.
Brokerage Commissions and Fees
Brokerage commissions and fees on the Master Funds’ financial statements represent all brokerage commissions and other fees incurred in connection with the Master Funds’ trading activity and are recorded on the accrual basis.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are calculated using daily exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date. The Master Funds do not isolate the portion of results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and cash from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of investments held. The Master Funds’ currency translation gains and losses are included in the statements of operations and incentive allocation within net realized gain and net (decrease) increase in unrealized appreciation on investments.
Fair Value
The fair value of GAIT’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under U.S. GAAP, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the statements of financial condition. Changes in these carrying amounts are included in the statements of operations and incentive allocation.
GAIT follows U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. GAIT reports the fair value of its investment related assets and liabilities in accordance with the hierarchy established under U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP uses a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the activeness of the market and the transparency and independence of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.
Graham Alternative Investment

Notes to Unaudited Financial
Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Value (continued)
The fair value hierarchy categorizes asset and liability positions into one of three levels, as summarized below, based on the inputs and assumptions used in deriving fair value.
●
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted closing or settlement prices for such assets or liabilities as published by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.
●
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities obtained from independent brokers and/or market makers in each security.
●
Level 3 inputs are those which are considered unobservable and are significant in arriving at fair value.
GAIT’s investments in the Master Funds and Graham Cash
Assets LLC (“Cash Assets”) have been valued at net asset value using the
practical expedient. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, these
investments are excluded from categorization in the fair value hierarchy.
GAIT’s investments in the Master Funds and Cash Assets are discussed in Notes 3
and 4. There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities held at any point during the
three months ended March 31, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024
by GAIT, the Master Funds, or Cash Assets.
Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Master Funds utilize derivative financial instruments in connection with their trading activities. Derivative instruments derive their value from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Investments in derivative financial instruments are subject to additional risks that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The Master Funds’ derivative financial instruments are classified by the following primary underlying risks: interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity price, and equity price risks. These risks can be in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition. In addition, the Master Funds are also subject to additional counterparty risk should their counterparties fail to meet the terms of their contracts. Management of counterparty risk involves a number of considerations, such as the financial profile of the counterparty, specific terms and duration of the contractual agreement, and the value of collateral held, if any. The Master Funds have established initial credit approval, credit limits, and collateral requirements and may reduce their exposure to any counterparties they deem necessary. Trading in non-U.S. dollar denominated derivative instruments may subject the value of, and gains and losses associated with, such contracts to additional risks related to adverse changes in the applicable exchange rates.
Unrealized appreciation and depreciation from derivative financial instruments are recorded based on changes in their fair value. Realized gains and losses are recorded when the positions are closed. All unrealized and realized gains and losses related to derivative financial instruments are included in net realized gain and net (decrease) increase in unrealized appreciation on investments in the Master Funds’ statements of operations.
Futures Contracts
The Master Funds use futures contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in the value of equities, commodities, interest rates, bonds, and foreign currencies. Futures contracts are valued based upon the closing price as of the valuation date established by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.
Graham Alternative Investment

Notes to Unaudited Financial
Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Derivative Instruments (continued)
Futures Contracts (continued)
A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset or cash settlement based on the value of an asset on a specified date. The purchase and sale of futures contracts are executed on an exchange which requires margin deposits with a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”). Subsequent payments are made or received by the Master Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. These changes in valuation are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation and depreciation by the Master Funds. Relative to over-the-counter derivative financial instruments, futures contracts provide reduced counterparty risk to the Master Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchanges’ clearing house guarantees the futures against default. However, some non-U.S. exchanges are “principals’ markets” in which no common clearing facility exists, and the Master Funds may look only to the clearing broker for performance of the contract. The U.S. Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all funds received from such FCM’s customers in respect of regulated futures transactions. If the FCM were not to do so to the full extent required by law, the assets of the Master Funds might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the FCM. In that case, the Master Funds would be limited to potentially recovering only a pro-rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the FCM’s combined customer accounts, even though certain property specifically traceable to the Master Funds was held by the FCM. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of an exchange or an affiliated clearing house, the Master Funds might experience a loss of funds deposited through its FCM as margin with such exchange or affiliated clearing house, the loss of unrealized profits on its open positions, and the loss of funds owed to it as realized profits on closed positions.
Forward Contracts
The Master Funds enter into foreign currency forward contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in exchange rates. Forward currency transactions are contracts or agreements for delivery of specific currencies or the cash equivalent value at a specified future date and an agreed upon price. Forward contracts are not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house and therefore the risks include the inability of counterparties to meet their obligations under the terms of the contracts as well as the risks associated with movements in fair value.
All forward contracts are valued based upon a forward curve constructed using independently quoted forward points. Changes in fair value of each forward contract are recognized as unrealized appreciation and depreciation.

Swap Contracts
The Master Funds may enter into various swap contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and asset values. Exchange cleared swap contracts are cleared on an exchange which requires margin deposits with a Central Clearing Counterparty (“CCP”). Subsequent payments are made or received by the Master Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. These changes in valuation are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation by the Master Funds. The Master Funds records realized gains or losses when a swap contract is terminated. Relative to OTC interest rate swap contracts, exchange cleared interest rate swap contracts provide reduced counterparty risk since they are exchange-cleared, and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees against default. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a CCP to segregate all funds received from such CCP’s customers in respect of exchange cleared interest rate swaps. If the CCP were not to do so to the full extent required by law, the assets of the Master Funds might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the CCP. In that case, the Master Funds would be limited to recovering only a pro-rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the CCP’s combined customer accounts, even though certain property specifically traceable to the Master Funds is held by the CCP. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of an exchange or an affiliated clearing house, the Master Funds could experience a loss of funds deposited through its CCP as margin with such exchange or affiliated clearing house, the loss of unrealized profits on its open positions, and the loss of funds owed to it as realized profits on closed positions. All funds deposited with both U.S. and non-U.S. CCPs are included in due from brokers on the statement of financial condition of the Master Funds. OTC swap contracts are not guaranteed by an exchange or an affiliated clearing house or regulated by any U.S. or foreign government authorities. Failure of a counterparty to meet its obligation under the terms of the swap contract could result in the loss of any unrealized appreciation on open positions. It may not be possible to dispose of or close out a swap position without the consent of the counterparty, and the Master Funds may not be able to enter into an offsetting contract in order to cover its risk.
An interest rate swap contract is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified rates for a specified notional amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to another. Interest rate swap positions are generally valued as the present value of the net future cash flows as estimated by the Advisor using a discount curve constructed from independently obtained future interest rate assumptions. Interest is calculated and accrued throughout the life of each swap and is included in interest receivable and interest payable on the Master Funds’ statements of financial condition. Payments received at the end of each reset period are recorded against such accruals.
A total return swap contract is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange cash flows calculated by reference to changes in specified prices for a specified notional amount of the underlying assets. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to another. Total return swaps are generally valued based upon the value of the underlying instruments and terms of the contract as determined by the primary exchange on which they are traded.

Options
The Master Funds may buy and sell covered and uncovered exchange-traded and over-the-counter options on futures, foreign currencies, commodities, interest rates and equities to take advantage of the price movements of the financial instrument underlying the option or to hedge positions in the underlying assets. Option contracts give one party the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a limited time or on a specified date, a financial instrument, commodity, or currency at a contracted price. Options may also be settled in cash, based on differentials between specified indices or prices.
When purchasing options, the Master Funds are exposed to counterparty risk to the extent that a seller of an over-the-counter option does not meet its obligations under the terms of the option contract. The maximum risk of loss to the Master Funds is the unrealized appreciation of the contracts and the premiums paid to purchase its open option contracts. Relative to over-the-counter options, exchange-traded options provide reduced counterparty risk to the Master Funds since the exchanges’ clearinghouse guarantees the option against default.
Selling uncovered options may subject the Master Funds to unlimited risk of loss. As the writer of an option, the Master Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying instrument.
Exchange-traded options are valued based upon the settlement prices published as of the valuation date by the principal exchange upon which they are traded. In the absence of an exchange published settlement price, the option will be valued using the last reported sales price reported on the exchange for the valuation date. Over-the-counter options and exchange-traded options with no reported sales price on the valuation date will generally be valued at the average of the last reported bid and offer quotes from independent brokers or from the exchange, respectively.
Credit Risk Related Contingent Features
OTC derivative instruments are subject to ISDA Master Agreements which generally require among other things, that the Master Funds maintain a predetermined level of net assets or rate of return and provide limits with respect to any decline in value over 1-month, 3-month and 12-month periods. If the Master Funds were to violate such provisions, the counterparty to these instruments could demand liquidation of the outstanding positions. There were no events that occurred throughout the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 which caused any counterparty to demand liquidation of any outstanding positions. Graham K4D Trading Ltd. had no derivative instruments subject to credit risk related contingent features in a net liability position at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Graham Commodity Strategies LLC had no derivative instruments subject to credit risk related contingent features in a net liability position at March 31, 2025
and December 31, 2024, respectively. Graham Derivatives Strategies LLC had no derivative instruments subject to credit risk related contingent features in a net liability position at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Fixed Income Securities
The fixed income securities positions, held by the Master Funds where applicable, are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask quotations received from independent brokers. GAIT is exposed to credit risk relating to whether the issuers will meet their obligations when they come due until the fixed income securities held by the Master Funds are sold or reach maturity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
GAIT classifies all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase as cash equivalents. Cash deposited with a bank is subject to credit risk. In the event of the bank's insolvency, recovery of GAIT’s cash would be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded by such deposit. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, GAIT did not have any cash or cash equivalents.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”) Segment Reporting (Topic 280) —Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Investment Committee acts as GAIT’s CODM. GAIT represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of GAIT as a whole and GAIT’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its LLC Agreement, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by GAIT’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of GAIT’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in members’ capital (i.e., changes in members’ capital resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus GAIT’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for GAIT’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within GAIT’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying statements of financial condition as “total assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying statements of operations. ASU 2023-07 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. GAIT adopted ASU 2023-07 for annual reporting of the year ended December 31, 2024. Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect GAIT’s financial position or results of operations.

The following table displays the gross volume of derivative activities categorized by primary underlying risk of Graham Commodity Strategies LLC based on its quarterly notional amounts and number of contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The table also displays the fair value of derivative contracts held by Graham Commodity Strategies LLC at March 31, 2025 categorized by primary underlying risk. The fair value of derivative contracts is included in derivative financial instruments on the statements of financial condition. Derivatives denominated in foreign currencies have been converted to U.S. dollars. Derivative asset and derivative liability balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty netting. The Master Funds trade derivative instruments on a leveraged basis. Due to the low margin deposits normally required for trading these derivative financial instruments, the gross notional exposure as displayed in the tables below may exceed the net asset value of the Master Funds by a significant amount. As a result, a relatively small price movement in an underlying derivative financial instrument may result in immediate and substantial effect on the net income and net asset value of the Master Funds and GAIT.

3. Investments in Master Funds (continued)
When multiple derivative contracts are held with the same counterparty, the Master Funds will net the contracts in an asset position with the contracts in a liability position when covered by a master netting agreement or similar arrangements, for presentation in the statements of financial condition. The table below displays the amounts at March 31, 2025 by which the fair values of both derivative assets and derivative liabilities were reduced within the Master Funds’ statements of financial condition as a result of this netting. Gross amounts below correspond to the total derivative asset and derivative liability balances categorized by primary underlying risk and product type in the preceding tables. Collateral pledged (received) for derivative assets and derivative liabilities represent the cash amounts which are included in due from brokers on the statements of financial condition. Actual collateral pledged or received by the Master Funds may exceed these amounts.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (continued)
3. Investments in Master Funds (continued)
The following table displays
the gross volume of derivative activities categorized by primary underlying
risk of Graham Commodity Strategies LLC based on its average quarterly notional
amounts and number of contracts for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The table also displays the fair value of derivative contracts held by Graham
Commodity Strategies LLC at December 31, 2024 categorized by primary
underlying risk. The fair value of derivative contracts is included in
derivative financial instruments on the Master Funds’ statements of financial
condition. Derivatives denominated in foreign currencies have been converted to
U.S. dollars. Derivative asset and derivative liability balances are presented
on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty netting. The Master
Funds trade derivative instruments on a leveraged basis. Due to the low margin
deposits normally required for trading these derivative financial instruments,
the gross notional exposure as displayed in the tables below may exceed the net
asset value of the Master Funds by a significant amount. As a result, a
relatively small price movement in an underlying derivative financial
instrument may result in immediate and substantial effect on the net income and
net asset value of the Master Funds and GAIT.

Investments in Master Funds (continued)
The following table displays the gross volume of
derivative activities categorized by primary underlying risk of Graham K4D
Trading Ltd. based on its average quarterly notional amounts and number of
contracts for the year ended December 31, 2024. The table also displays the
fair value of derivative contracts held by Graham K4D Trading Ltd. at December 31,
2024 categorized by primary underlying risk. The fair value of derivative
contracts is included in derivative financial instruments on the Master Funds’
statements of financial condition. Derivatives denominated in foreign
currencies have been converted to U.S. dollars. Derivative asset and derivative
liability balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of
counterparty netting. The Master Funds trade derivative instruments on a
leveraged basis. Due to the low margin deposits normally required for trading
these derivative financial instruments, the gross notional exposure as
displayed in the tables below may exceed the net asset value of the Master
Funds by a significant amount. As a result, a relatively small price movement
in an underlying derivative financial instrument may result in immediate and
substantial effect on the net income and net asset value of the Master Funds
and GAIT.

3. Investments in
Master Funds (continued)
When multiple derivative
contracts are held with the same counterparty, the Master Funds will net the
contracts in an asset position with the contracts in a liability position when
covered by a master netting agreement or similar arrangements, for presentation
in the statements of financial condition. The table below displays the amounts at
December 31, 2024 by which the
fair values of both derivative assets and derivative liabilities were reduced
within the Master Funds’ statements of financial condition as a result of this
netting. Gross amounts below correspond to the total derivative asset and
derivative liability balances categorized by primary underlying risk and
product type in the preceding tables. Collateral pledged (received) for
derivative assets and derivative liabilities represent the cash amounts which
are included in due from brokers on the statements of financial condition.
Actual collateral pledged or received by the Master Funds may exceed these
amounts.

4. Graham Cash Assets LLC
GAIT invests a portion of its excess liquidity in Cash
Assets, an entity for which the Manager is also the sole investment advisor.
Cash Assets commenced operations on June 22, 2005 and was formed as a Delaware
Limited Liability Company for the purpose of consolidating investment activity
of multiple funds managed by the Manager. Its objective is to preserve capital
while enhancing return on cash balances and providing daily liquidity. Cash
Assets maintains cash and cash equivalents on deposit with major U.S.
institutions, which may exceed federally insured limits. It also invests in
debt obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Federal government, which generally
range in maturity from one day to thirty months. Cash Assets currently intends
to hold all fixed income securities until maturity and values them at amortized
cost which approximates fair value. If Cash
Assets were forced to sell some of its securities in the open market before
they mature to meet unanticipated redemption requests (whether from GAIT or other
entities affiliated with the manager), the market value of the securities at
such time may be below their amortized cost, causing a loss for GAIT’s
investors. GAIT’s investment in Cash Assets is valued in the accompanying
statements of financial condition at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP
based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of Cash Assets’ reported net asset value.
GAIT’s investment in Cash Assets at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is $62,958,428
and $61,337,499, respectively, which represents a percentage of GAIT’s Members’
Capital of 91.06% and 92.45%, respectively.
GAIT
records its proportionate share of Cash Assets’ investment income and expenses
on a monthly basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the
total amount recognized by GAIT with respect to its investment in Cash Assets
was $652,334 and
$756,689,
respectively. These amounts are included in interest income in the statements
of operations and incentive allocation. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
GAIT owned approximately 0.81% and 0.86%, respectively, of Cash Assets. The

5. Capital Accounts
GAIT offers members Class 0, Class 2 Units, and
effective March 19, 2024, Class 3-A Units and Class 3-B Units (collectively the
“Units”). All classes are currently issued. GAIT may issue additional classes
in the future subject to different fees, expenses or other terms, or invest in
other investment programs or combinations of investment programs managed by the
Manager. GAIT also has Management Units (“Class M units”) which are solely for
the investment of the Manager.
A separate capital account is maintained for each
member with respect to each Class of Units held by such member. The initial
balance of each Member’s Capital account is equal to the initial contribution
to GAIT with respect to the Class to which such capital account relates. Each Member’s
Capital Account is increased by any additional subscription and decreased by
any redemption by such member of Units of such Class to which the capital account
relates. All income and expenses of GAIT are allocated among the capital accounts
of the members in proportion to the balance that each capital account bears to
the balance of all capital accounts as of the beginning of such fiscal period.
Subscriptions
Units may be purchased at a price equal to the Net
Asset Value per Unit of the relevant Class as of the immediately preceding
Valuation Day, as defined in the LLC Agreement. There is no minimum
subscription amount.
Units are available for subscription as of the first
business day of each month upon written notice of at least three business days
prior to the last business day of the preceding month.
Redemptions
Units are not subject to any minimum holding period.
Members may redeem Units at the Net Asset Value thereof as of the last business
day of each month upon not less than three business days’ prior written notice
to the administrator.
6. Fees and Related
Party Transactions
Advisory Fees
Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT paid the Manager an
advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”) at an aggregate annual rate of 1.50% of the Members’
Capital of such Class. Class 3-A and Class 3-B have an advisory fee at an
aggregate annual rate of 1.50% and 2.00% of the Members’ Capital of such Class,
respectively. The Advisory Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of
the last business day of each month and any other date the Manager may permit,
in its sole and absolute discretion, as of which any subscription or redemption
is affected with respect to Units of such Class during the month. Class M has
no advisory fee. The Advisory Fees paid to the Manager for the three months
ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $255,978 and $243,556, respectively.

Sponsor Fees
Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT
paid the Manager a sponsor fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) at an annual rate of the Members’
Capital specified in the table below. Class 3-A, Class 3-B and Class M of GAIT
have no sponsor fee. The Sponsor Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated
as of the last business day of each month in the same manner as the Advisory
Fee. The Sponsor Fees paid to the Manager by Class 0 and Class 2 for the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $102,828 and $125,132, respectively.

Incentive Allocation
At the end of each calendar quarter, Graham Capital LLC, an affiliate of the
Manager, will receive a special allocation of net profits (the “Incentive
Allocation”) in an amount equal to 20% of the New High Net Trading Profits of
each Class as defined in the LLC Agreement. The Incentive Allocation is also
accrued and allocable on the date of redemption with respect to any Units that
are redeemed prior to the end of a calendar quarter. Additionally, any loss
carryforward attributable to any class of GAIT shall be proportionately reduced
effective as of the date of any redemption of any Units of such class by
multiplying the loss carryforward by the ratio that the amount of assets
redeemed from such class bears to the net assets of such class immediately prior
to such redemption. The loss carryforward of a class must be recouped before
any subsequent Incentive Allocation can be made. The Incentive Allocation for
the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $48,127 and $312,502,
respectively.
Any portion of
any of the above fees, including the Incentive Allocation, may be paid by the
Manager to third parties as compensation for selling activities in connection
with GAIT.
Administrator’s Fees
For the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, GAIT paid SEI monthly administrator’s fees
based on GAIT’s Members’ Capital, calculated as of the last business day of
each month. In addition, GAIT paid SEI for regulatory compliance services and reimbursed
SEI for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of GAIT. The total
administrator’s fees, including out-of-pocket expenses, incurred by GAIT were $25,012
and $21,103, respectively.
Professional Fees
GAIT shall pay, or reimburse the Manager, for expenses arising in
connection with GAIT’s audit, tax and legal fees (“professional fees”). The total professional
fees incurred by GAIT for the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $144,368 and $106,420,
respectively.
Operating Expenses
GAIT shall pay, or reimburse the Manager, for expenses arising in
connection with the GAIT’s investments, operations, and business (“operating
expenses”). For the three months ended
March 31, 2025 and 2024, GAIT reimbursed the Manager for operating expenses which
were comprised of market data and technology costs associated with its assets
allocated to the various Master Funds. The total operating expenses incurred by
GAIT for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $11,144 and
$10,637, respectively.

7. Income
Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been made in the
accompanying financial statements, as members are individually responsible for
reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of GAIT’s income and
expenses for income tax purposes.
U.S. GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax
positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the
financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in the course of preparing GAIT’s tax returns to
determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being
sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not”
threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. GAIT identifies
its major tax jurisdictions as the U.S. for Federal tax purposes, Connecticut
for state tax purposes and various international jurisdictions. The Manager has
evaluated GAIT’s tax positions for all open tax years under the respective
statutes of limitations (generally three years in the U.S. but varying in non-U.S.
jurisdictions) and has concluded that there are no significant tax positions
requiring recognition, measurement, or disclosure in the financial statements.
The Manager is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will change
materially in the next twelve months. Tax years which are considered open by
the relevant jurisdiction are subject to potential examination. Any assessment
for interest or penalties on taxes related to uncertain tax positions, when
present, would be included in interest and penalties on tax on the statements
of operations and incentive allocation. No such interest and/or penalties were
assessed to GAIT for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
8. Risk Factors
Global
economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect GAIT’s
operations. The current global financial market situation, as well as various
social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world
(including wars and other forms of conflict, terrorist acts, security
operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes,
tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may contribute to increased
market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United
States and worldwide. Such impacts may
affect the financial markets in which the GAIT operates.

Total return is calculated for Class 0, Class 2, Class
3-A and Class 3-B units taken as a whole. Total return is calculated as the
change in total Members’ Capital, excluding that of the Manager, adjusted for
subscriptions or redemptions during the period. An individual member’s return
may vary from these returns based on the timing of capital transactions and the
applicability of Advisory Fees, Sponsor Fees, Administrator’s Fees, and the
Incentive Allocation. The net investment income (loss) and total expense ratios
(including Incentive Allocation) are calculated for the Class 0, Class 2, Class
3-A and Class 3-B units taken as a whole and include amounts from GAIT and net
investment income (loss) and expenses allocated from Master Funds and
investment income from Cash Assets. The computation of such ratios is based on
the amount of net investment income (loss), total expenses and Incentive
Allocation. Net investment income (loss) and total expense ratios are computed
based upon the weighted average of Members’ Capital of GAIT, excluding that of
the Manager, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and have not
been annualized.

Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in this Quarterly
Report under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We undertake no
obligation to update publicly or review any forward-looking statement, whether
as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
(a) Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of our
current financial position and results of operations. This discussion should be
read together with our annual financial statements and the notes thereto for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2025.
This discussion should also be read in conjunction with “Item 1: Financial
Statements”, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The information contained therein is essential
to, and should be read in conjunction with, the following analysis. For the
purposes of this filing beginning with Item 2, the term “Fund” shall include
the Core Macro Portfolio of GAIF I, GAIT, and the Master Funds in which they
invest, unless the context implies otherwise. The Fund does not engage in the
sale of goods or services. The Fund’s capital consists of capital contributions
of the members, as increased or decreased by gains and losses from its
investments in the Master Funds, interest, expenses, and redemptions. Its only
assets are its investments in the Master Funds. The Master Funds do not engage
in the sale of goods or services. Their assets are comprised of fixed income
positions, the equity in their accounts with clearing brokers and OTC
counterparties, in each case consisting of cash, open trade equity on
derivatives and the net option premium paid or received. In the case of Graham
Cash Assets LLC (“Cash Assets”), the assets consist of investments in debt
obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Federal government, as well as cash and cash
equivalents.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Core
Macro Portfolio’s Members’ Capital increased by $1,773,369 or 6.3%. The net increase
in the Core Macro Portfolio was attributable to net income of $793,555 or 2.8%
and subscriptions of $2,100,000 or 7.4%, offset by redemptions totaling $1,120,186
or - 3.9% for the period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Core
Macro Portfolio’s Members’ Capital increased by $889,899 or 3.1%. The net
increase in the Core Macro Portfolio was attributable to net income of
$2,486,130 or 8.7% and subscriptions of $232,000 or 0.8%, offset by redemptions
totaling $1,828,231 or - 6.4% for the
period.
(i) Results of Operations
The Fund’s success depends primarily upon the Manager’s
ability to recognize and capitalize on market trends in the different and
varied sectors of the global financial markets in which it trades.
2025 Summary
Three
Months Ended March 31, 2025
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Core
Macro Portfolio experienced a net trading gain of $776,150. The trading results
are attributable to the following sectors:
| | | |
Agriculture / Softs
|
$ | (14,318 | ) |
Base Metals
|
| 151,133 | |
Energy

Short Term Rates
|

|
$ | 776,150 | |
The Core Macro Portfolio recorded trading gains in the
first quarter of 2025. Commodities were the top-performing sector due to long
positions in precious metals, copper, crude oil, coffee, and natural gas. The
portfolio generated gains in equities from long positions in European and U.K.
benchmark indices, as well as from mixed positions in U.S. indices. In fixed
income, profits were driven by short positions in European bonds in early
March. The portfolio incurred losses in currencies from long exposure to the
U.S. dollar versus major global counterparts, particularly the euro, the
British pound sterling, and the Swiss franc, with additional losses from mixed
positions in the Japanese yen.
Advisory, Sponsor, and Administrator’s Fees are
calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each
month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions
into and redemptions out of the Fund. Accordingly, the fluctuations in these
amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value which are
discussed in detail herein.
For the three months
ended March 31, 2025, Advisory Fees increased by $3,363 or 3.0%, Sponsor Fees decreased
by $13,097 or -21.9%, and Administrator’s Fees increased by $1,550 or 16.7% in
the Fund over the corresponding period of the preceding year. The movements are consistent with the timing of profit and
loss and capital activity during the quarter. During the same period,
interest income decreased by $51,496 or -14.5%. Interest
was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 4.22% for the three
months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 4.99% for the same period in 2024.
The Incentive Allocation is
based on the New High Net Trading Profits of the portfolio. For the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Incentive Allocation was $20,592 and
$140,776, respectively. The decrease
was the result of a lower New High Net Trading Profits before incentive
allocation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2024.
The following table
illustrates the sector distribution of the Fund’s investments in Master Funds
as of March 31, 2025 based on the fair value of the underlying assets and
liabilities in each Master Fund including both long and short positions.
Positive percentages represent net assets whereas negative percentages
represent a net liability.

Macro Portfolio experienced a net trading gain of $2,520,652. The trading
results are attributable to the following sectors:
| | | |
Agriculture / Softs
|
$ | 237,594 | |
Base Metals
|
| 7,272 | |
Energy
|
| 316,244 | |
Equities
|
| 1,367,964 | |
Foreign Exchange
|
| 208,650 | |
Long Term / Intermediate Rates
|
| 149,876 | |
Precious Metals
|
| 161,398 | |
Short Term Rates
|
| 71,654 | |
|
$ | 2,520,652 | |
The Core Macro Portfolio began 2024 with a
strong start, with trading gains across all sectors during Q1. Equities were
the top performing sector due to long positions in U.S., Japanese, and European
benchmark index futures. In commodities, gains resulted from long positions in
energy, softs, and gold. Mixed long and short positions across the yield curve
in the U.S. led to profits in fixed income. The portfolio also produced
positive performance in currencies, mainly due to long U.S. dollar exposure
versus various global counterparts, including the Swiss franc, Chinese yuan,
Japanese yen, and Canadian dollar.
Advisory, Sponsor, and Administrator’s Fees are
calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each
month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions
into and redemptions out of the Fund. Accordingly, the fluctuations in these
amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value which are
discussed in detail herein.
For the three months
ended March 31, 2024, Advisory Fees increased by $3,579 or 3.3%, Sponsor Fees decreased
by $(717) or -1.2%, and Administrator’s Fees increased by $185 or 2.0% in the
Fund over the corresponding period of the preceding year. The movements are consistent
with the timing of profit and loss and capital activity during the quarter.
During the same period, interest income increased by $163,838 or 85.7%.
Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 4.99% for
the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 2.57% for the same period in
2023.
The Incentive Allocation is based on the New High Net
Trading Profits of the portfolio. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and
2023, the Incentive Allocation was $140,776 and $562, respectively. The
Incentive Allocation of $140,776 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was
the result of a net gain before Incentive Allocation. The Incentive Allocation
of $562 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to the Fund’s smaller
proportionate ownership of GAIT during the time of GAIT’s incentive fee
reversal than the time of the accrual.
The following table illustrates the sector
distribution of the Fund’s investments in Master Funds as of March 31, 2024
based on the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities in each Master
Fund including both long and short positions. Positive percentages represent
net assets whereas negative percentages represent a net liability.

Variables Affecting Performance
The Fund’s performance is affected by net profitability resulting
from the trading operations of the Master Funds, the fees charged by the Fund,
and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents. The Master Funds
acquire and liquidate fixed income positions, long and short positions in
futures contracts, forwards contracts, spot currency contracts and associated
derivative instruments such as options and swaps. These instruments are carried
at fair value, which is heavily influenced by a wide variety of factors
including but not limited to, the level and volatility of exchange rates, interest
rates, equity prices, and commodity prices as well as global macro political
events. These factors generate market movements affecting the fair value of
these instruments and in turn the net gains and losses allocated from the
Master Funds.
Advisory, Sponsor, and Administrator’s Fees are
calculated based on a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value. Changes in the
net assets of the Fund resulting from subscriptions, redemptions, interest and
trading profits allocated from the Master Funds can therefore have a material
impact on the fee expense of the Fund.
A portion of the assets of the Fund is held in cash
and cash equivalents. Changes in the net assets of the Fund as well as changes
in the interest rates earned on these investments can have a material impact on
interest income earned.
(ii) Liquidity
There are no known demands, commitments, events, or
uncertainties that will result in or are reasonably likely to result in the
Fund’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
A portion of the Fund’s assets is
generally held as cash or cash equivalents, which are used to margin the Fund’s
investments. It is expected that the average margin the Fund will
be required to post to support the Fund’s trading may range between 10% and 30%
of the Fund’s total assets, which will be segregated or secured by the futures
brokers in accordance with the CEA and with CFTC regulations or be maintained
on deposit with over-the-counter counterparties. In exceptional market
conditions, this amount could increase. The Master Funds are subject to margin
calls on a constant daily and intra-day basis, whether in connection with
initiating new investment positions or as a result of changes in the value of
current investment positions. These margin requirements are met through the
posting of additional margin with the applicable futures or FX clearing broker,
on an almost daily basis. The Manager generally expresses its margin
requirements for the portfolios in terms of the aggregate of the margin
requirements for the underlying strategies plus the net option premium costs
for the underlying strategies. The following table shows these amounts as of
the date indicated:
| | | | | |
|
| |
Core Macro Portfolio
| | |
March 31, 2025
|
| | 9.64% | | |
December 31, 2024
|
| | 11.17% | | |
March 31, 2024
|
| | 9.24% | | |
Other than any potential
market-imposed limitations on liquidity, the Fund’s assets are highly liquid
and are expected to remain so. Market-imposed limitations, when they occur, can
be due to limited open interest in certain futures markets or to daily price
fluctuation limits, which are inherent in the Fund’s futures trading. Through March
31, 2025, the Fund experienced no meaningful periods of illiquidity in any of
the markets traded by the Manager on behalf of the Fund.
(iii) Capital Resources
The Fund raises additional
capital through the sale of Units and capital is increased through trading
profits (if any) and interest income. The Fund may borrow money from brokers or
their affiliates and other lenders. Units may be offered for sale as of the
beginning, and may be redeemed as of the end, of each month. The amount of
capital raised for the Fund should not have a significant impact on its
operations, as the Fund has no significant capital expenditure or working
capital requirements other than for monies to pay trading losses, brokerage
commissions and expenses.
The Fund participates in the
speculative trading of commodity futures contracts, substantially all of which
are subject to margin requirements. The minimum amount of margin required for
each contract is set from time to time in response to various market factors by
the respective exchanges. Further, the Fund’s brokers may require margin in
excess of minimum exchange requirements. The Fund bears the risk of financial
failure of the brokers through which it clears trades and maintains margin in
respect of any such trades and of its counterparties for its foreign exchange
and swap trades with whom it also maintains margin.
(iv) Critical Accounting Estimates
Presentation
– Graham Alternative Investment Fund I LLC is a series Limited Liability
Company under Delaware law. The financial statements and corresponding
footnotes are presented solely for the Core Macro Portfolio, except where
otherwise noted.
Use of Estimates – The Fund’s financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and
all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars except where noted. The preparation of
the financial statements requires the Manager to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund’s significant
accounting policies are described in detail in Note 2 of the financial
statements.
Fair Value Measurement – The Fund follows U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements, which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. U.S. GAAP uses a
three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the activeness of the
market and the transparency and independence of inputs used in the valuation of
an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The Fund reports the fair
value of its investment-related assets and liabilities in accordance with the
hierarchy established under U.S. GAAP.
The Fund records its
investments in GAIT at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In determining
its net asset value, GAIT records its investments in Master Funds at fair value
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Fund records its proportionate share of
GAIT’s investment income and loss, expenses, fees, and realized and unrealized
gains and losses on a monthly basis. Purchases and sales of units in GAIT are
recorded on a trade date basis.
The Master Funds record all
their financial instruments at fair value, which is derived in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation from these instruments are
recorded based on changes in their fair value. Realized gains and losses are
recorded when the positions are closed. All unrealized and realized gains and
losses related to financial instruments are included in net gain (loss) on
investments in the Master Funds’ statements of operations.
Investment
Company – The Fund is an investment company and applies
specialized accounting guidance as outlined in Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Update 2013-08, Financial
Services – Investment Companies, Amendments
to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. The Manager has
evaluated this guidance and has determined the Fund meets the criteria to be
classified as an investment company.
Cash Assets
– GAIT invests a portion of its excess liquidity in Cash Assets, an entity for
which the Manager is also the sole investment advisor. The financial
information of Cash Assets is included in the notes to the financial statements
of GAIT.
Income
Taxes – No provision for income taxes has been made in the Fund’s
financial statements, as each member is responsible for reporting income or
loss based upon the member’s respective share of the Fund’s revenues and
expenses for income tax purposes.
U.S.
GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized,
measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. U.S. GAAP
requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the
course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax
positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax
authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold
would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year and the Fund identifies
its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Connecticut State. The Manager
has evaluated the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that there are no
significant tax positions requiring recognition, measurement, or disclosure in
the financial statements for all open tax years. The Manager is not aware of
any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of
unrecognized tax expense will change materially in the next twelve months. Tax
years which are considered open by the relevant jurisdiction are subject to
potential examination.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about
Market Risk
No
disclosure is required hereunder as the Fund is a “smaller reporting company”,
as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure
Control and Procedures
The Fund and GAIF I has each established disclosure
controls and procedures to ensure that the information required to be disclosed
by the Fund in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to the Manager and the management of the Fund and
GAIF I, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2025, the
Manager, along with the Manager’s principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) of the Fund and GAIF I were effective.
With respect to the certifications of the Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer included as Exhibit 31
hereto, the financial statements referred to therein and the representations
and determinations of those officers contained in such certifications refer to
and apply to both the Fund and GAIF I.
Changes in Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
There were no changes to the internal control over financial reporting of
the Fund and GAIF I during the first quarter of 2025 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Fund’s or GAIF I’s
internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings
